*** PTG Trips ***
Please note that PTG (Public Transport Group) trips may be subject to change due to on-going problems with train and bus services, and also pub opening times still being very changeable at the moment. Check this diary page nearer the time, or ask Michael Croxford to put you on his PTG email list, for the latest updates
*** Beer Bus Trips ***
Beer Bus trips must be pre-booked by contacting Dave Ricketts. Try and book early as some trips get fully booked. Payment (usually around £15 each) is made on the day.
